Erwin Wurm’s Photographs serves as a definitive retrospective of the Austrian artist’s subversive relationship with the photographic medium. Published in conjunction with his major 2020 exhibition at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) in Paris, this volume highlights how Wurm uses the camera not merely to document, but to complete and solidify his sculptural gestures. Ranging from his iconic "One Minute Sculptures" to broader explorations of physical absurdity, the work challenges classical notions of monumentality. By elevating fleeting, often ridiculous interactions between the human body and everyday domestic objects into permanent visual records, Wurm forces a profound reconsideration of what constitutes a sculptural mass.
